Another day and another set of silent auctions! Keep an eye on this because they both end at 10am PST and you know how people love to snipe them at last second....
The Panoply Of Koroks Paintings is up first, and it's an amazing selection of art in a variety of sizes and frames. Ever wanted to invite some of the cute Koroks from Legend of Zelda into your house? Now you can! Hestu and his nine Korok companions can be your new permanent house guests in the form of this assortment of handmade paintings!
Next is a pair of Piranha Flower Socks! Have you ever considered that having your feet eaten by Piranha Plants might actually be as good as, if not - dare I say it - even better than wearing a pair of hand knitted woolen socks? But hey, don’t take my word for it! Give it a try!
We have so many MtG things to give, and we have yet another one here ready to go for you to try and win! This bundle contains both a Draft Booster and a Collector Booster Display. If you'd like to win this amazing collection, donate $6.90 or multiples thereof by 9:47am PST!
Once upon a time, there was a magical plane. A plane filled with fairies, wizards, and monsters. A dark curse has befallen the land in the wake of the Phyrexian invasion and the denizens of the plane are under a wicked slumber. The Planeswalker Ashiok has arrived to profit while the Kenrith Twins work to undo the curse. Meanwhile, a young human with fae blood teams up with a vedalken and a red hooded scout to vanquish those responsible for the curse.
Today has felt like an entire year has past! And today we're doing an art challenge for Star Wars day!
It's to draw me as a Sith Lord. I mean Az. Me. Yeah that! And if you win, you'll get this year's DB2023 shirt (only in Unisex sizes)
Email your submission to contest@desertbus.org with the subject "Darth Az", and make sure you get it in before 11:30am PST!!
Please submit it in JPG/PNG/Whatever you can do that's an actual viewable image. Also don't do AI, please. As an artist myself, it'd be painful to see that kinda thing happen. I look forward to seeing your submissions!!
If you'd like to win this amazing, limited edition model, then all you need to do is donate $5.92 or multiples thereof by 7:05am PST! Also, with approval from Child's Play, the proceeds of this giveaway will be split 50/50 between Child's Play Charity and Take This Org. So you're actually benefitting two charities at once!
A 1:18 scale diecast replica vehicle model of the Fusion Flea Racer from Fallout. The racer is number 1 of 300 yellow edition and was exclusive to the Bethesda Shop and ThinkGeek. The box is signed by the designer, Chris Bernardo of the Wand Company. It was donated to Take This at E3 2019 by friends formerly at ThinkGeek and Bethesda. It is the 3rd rarest of the Fusion Flea Racers, but the rarest publicly available one.
Finally, a way to keep your giant dice safe from the edges of the table, while also showing off your favorite Desert Bus shifts! Combining inspiration from Dice Friends and Desert Bus for Hope, here are four custom Dice Trays for each of the shifts. They each measure about 6x12 inches or 150x300mm and come with a removable mat, letting you choose what kind of satisfying dice noise you like to hear.
Donate $8.07 from now until 5:30am PST for a chance to win!!
Magic: the Gathering's set March of the Machine introduced the concept of legendary team-ups, where adversaries would join forces to face challenges that would have exceeded what they could handle alone — working together really can be better!
Manufactured from flatbar stock, these hand-push-engraved coins are about 50mm in diameter and 2mm thick. These were fun to make. They come with toolmarks (because I am not a master by any means!) but I hope these can bring joy by being used as game pieces in Magic games, for example by representing treasure tokens or when a coin flip needs to be decided.
Donate $6.66 or positive multiple integers thereof from now until 4:10 for a chance to win!
It's time for adventuring and retrieving loot from this amazing light box! This 11.25" × 11.25" × 4.5" lightbox recreates the cover art for the D&D Starter Set and Lost Mines of Phandelver. The depiction of four adventurers facing off against the mighty green dragon Venomfang amidst the ruins of Thundertree may bring back memories of your very first TPK. This lightbox is constructed from 6 layers of paper and backlit by white LEDs (powered by an included 12v DC power supply). The frame is painted green with three golden d20s on each side.
Donate $7.53 or multiple positive integers thereof from now until 2:38am PST for a chance to win!

Today escalated quickly! During the first half hour of Nightwatch, we crossed the milestone for $500,000 raised during this run. And even while we were still riding that high, we found ourselves launched into the stratosphere as Desert Bus for Hope 2023 officially raised $10 million dollars lifetime for Child's Play Charity.
Ten! Million! Dollars! For the children!
Truly, hitting this milestone means a lot to us.
The evening was star-studded, with a visit from a long-missed friend of the bus. We got Alex up to speed on our current hijinks pretty quickly.
But hey, Desert Bus is not always about pulling new bits out of our butt-buckets. Sometimes we like to revisit the classics, especially when crafter Carrie Emmerich gives us inspiration by donating a detailed diorama to the bus. Summoned by their tiny counterparts, the crew of Qwerpline got together for an entire live episode.
That's probably enough for one Nightwatch, don't ya think? Zeta, take us home.... please. We're too juice-drunk to drive.
